Need help! Undecided about rims, please vote

Slipk911 · Dec 23, 2008

I am really undecided on which rims i should get for my black 06 GT... Definately wanna get deep dish in the back and normal in the front but not sure which type to pick since i like them all. Please vote and help me out!

Option1: Black chrome FR500, 18x9 front, 18x10 back.

Option2: Anthracite Bullits, 18x9 fron, 18x10 back

Option3: Chrome lip + black FR500

Option4: Hypercoated GT4 (No deep dish!? ( )

Well my personal choice is Deep Dish Chrome Bullits,18x9 255/45/18 Nitto555's on the front and on the rears 18x10's 295/45/18 with Nitto 555's. Can't see spending the money right now as my car (05 Gt) Black in under the covers until Spring time. But that would be my choice.
I must say I've looked at all your options a few times online and keep coming back to the Chrome Bullits. Good luck with whatever your choice becomes.

I love the FR500 style but I don't think they flow with the s197 as well as the Bullits.

DarkFireGT · Dec 23, 2008

I'm quite partial to the FR500's myself But the Bullitts would be a close second.

I also voted for the Black/Chrome lipped FR500's because; A. They aren't as common' as bullets (But they are close) and B. Because ever since I saw them in person on a dropped black GT I've always wanted them.

Or... you could get the best of both worlds and go with black Bullits with chrome lip AND deep dish. They're 20's and not 18s, but it may give you a good idea.

I need to find the pic from the front so you can really see the dish. I was torn between FR500s and Bullits myself, but really liked the deep dish look!

Nah, not to bad This is pretty close to the 20 inch bullits, but below there's a pricing guide for tires
NEW! BULLITT MOTORSPORT WHEELS 20X10 BLACK

From what I've seen tires for 20 inch rims run around $150-170 plus or minus some.

I actually like the bullits more but voted for the black chrome fr500

The reason is if the bullits are made by American Muscle, then beware. If Torq Thrust (American Racing) is available in the deep dish configuration, then that's where my vote would go.

I say keep looking for something that everyone else doesn't already have. That plus i am not really partial to anything you listed as options. Sorry buddy

Bullitts

what's not to like?

Slipk911 · Dec 28, 2008

From what I saw overall there are a limited number of rims that will still keep a mustang looking like a muscle car and not an import. Looks like the bullits are getting the most votes

I find myself longing for the day when someone recreates (up-dates?) this design

I have black chrome FR500s which I voted for but black with polished lip can go too.
If you're going for a dark or black/black look they might not work though here's some shots.

Well, that solves my indecision regarding Bullitts vs. GT500's and 18" vs. 20"

08blueskunk · Jan 5, 2009

lowerd with deep dish 9 and 10 inch widths gives these cars that "Mean" wide look you can't go wrong with...
